Two (Black Friday 2023)

This is a limited-numbered RSD edition of 500 copies on 180-gram gold-coloured vinyl. Two, a defining musical landmark in Bob James’ career and his second solo album for producer Creed Taylor’s CTI label, debuted in 1975 and charted at No. 28 in the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums and No. 75 on The Billboard 200.

The album contains the iconic “Take Me To The Mardi Gras,” one of hip-hop’s most recognizable breakbeats, sampled over 400 times. The album also features a dynamic jazz-meets-classical music mash-up (“Farandole”), a tasteful soul music cover (“You’re As Right As Rain”), and memorable cinematic pieces (“Golden Apple” and “Dream Journey”). Includes double-sided insert with new liner notes and a high-quality reproduction print of the cover.
